What is the KBL Commodity Pledge Loan?

A financing scheme provided by Karnataka Bank for traders and millers against the pledge of their agricultural commodities. It offers funds against the deposit of original Storage Receipts, allowing you to obtain working capital for your agricultural operations.

The maximum loan amount is ₹2 crores, and the minimum loan amount is ₹10 lakh.

You can secure up to 70% of the value of the produce kept in cold storage, warehouse, or godown.

The period of the loan shall be 3 months less than the validity period specified in the storage receipt or 12 months, whichever is less, based on the shelf life of the commodity as decided by the holder of the commodity.

The loan is secured by the pledge of agricultural goods through the deposit of original Storage Receipts, evidencing the stock of specified produce, issued by the empanelled Collateral Managers.

The bank charges a processing fee or upfront fee. This includes charges for legal, valuation, and background information reports.

Additional interest concessions are offered for women entrepreneurs, MSMEs with Zero Defect Zero Effect (ZED) Certification, and for security coverage above 125%

The interest rates for the loan are linked to the External Benchmark based Lending Rate (EBLR). In the context of Karnataka Bank's loans, EBLR or External Benchmark Lending Rate is a crucial reference rate. It's essentially the standard against which the interest rates of loans are gauged and adjusted. This rate is determined by external market factors and serves as a transparent and dynamic benchmark. By tying loan interest rates to the EBLR, we ensure that loan pricing is fair, responsive to market conditions, and in line with regulatory guidelines, providing a clear and consistent basis for borrowers to understand how their loan interest rates are set.

If you miss an EMI, it's important to contact the bank as soon as possible. While there may be some flexibility, consistently missing payments can affect your credit score and eligibility for future loans.

There is no processing fee for loans up to ₹5 lakhs. A processing fees of up to 0.50% would be applicable on loans above ₹5 lakhs.
